Brief Answer:
no , you cannot get pregnant

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

No, you cannot get pregnant if you have not had a period in 7 to 8 years.

This means that you are no longer releasing an ovum/egg on a monthly basis. Release of an egg/ovum is required for pregnancy to occur. Since this is no longer happening, you cannot conceive.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
